Nicolas Kuhn won two Scottish Premiership titles with Celtic Cesc Fabregas believes new Como signing Nicolas Kuhn's qualities "fit exactly how we want to play" after he joined from Celtic on a four-year deal. The German winger, 25, departs Glasgow 18 months after joining Brendan Rodgers' side from Rapid Vienna. Kuhn made 69 appearances for Celtic, scoring 24 goals and winning every major domestic honour in Scotland, including two Premiership titles. "Nico is sharp, technical, and understands space really well, " said Como's head coach and former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder. "He brings creativity and intensity—qualities that fit exactly how we want to play. He'll give us something different in Serie A.

"The decision was easy, " said the former Germany under-20 cap. "The project is ambitious, and I want to be part of it, doing my best to help the team grow and achieve increasingly important goals. " Nicholas Kuhn has joined Como from Celtic on a four-year deal. Celtic paid a fee in the region of £3m for Kuhn, with reports suggesting Como will pay more than five times that amount. That would make Kuhn the Scottish champions' fifth biggest sale, behind Matt O'Riley, Jota, Kieran Tierney and Moussa Dembele. Kuhn described the northern Italian city as "beautiful — a real film set". Como's lakeside Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is smaller than Dundee United's Tannadice, while average crowds are lower than Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs. However, Kuhn is joining one of the richest clubs in Serie A. In 2019, with the team playing in Serie D, Indonesian billionaire brothers Robert and Michael Hartono paid less than £1m to take over, following the club's third bankruptcy. The initial plan was to introduce Indonesian players into the lower leagues for a reality TV series but rapid success resulted in a change of strategy. Kuhn is the third winger to arrive in a short space of time, with Jesus Rodriguez signed from Real Betis for a reported £20m fee and AZ Alkmaar receiving over £10m for Jayden Addai. Alex Valle, who had half a season on loan at Celtic, is there after making a permanent switch from Barcelona, while former Nou Camp midfielder Sergi Roberto is among the star names recruited by Fabregas, who ended his illustrious playing days with Como in Serie B before taking his first steps into coaching.
